Charlotte Flair Is Back on Top Again and Takeaways from WWE Royal Rumble 2025 Results

WWE is Setting up a Feud for Penta and Rey Mysterio

The men’s Rumble began with Rey Mysterio and Penta entering as the first two competitors. After a handshake, they began showing us why they are regarded as two of the best luchadores in the business.

This felt like WWE planting the seeds for a potential feud, which would be the best decision management could make.

This is a dream match for a lot of fans, so WrestleMania would be a perfect spot for it.

IShowSpeed Was Up For the Challenge

After Akira Tozawa was taken out during his entrance by an angry Carmelo Hayes, Triple H told IShowSpeed to get to the ring and take his place.

The social media star only lasted about a minute before being eliminated, but he took some wild bumps in the process.

Not only did Bron Breakker nearly rip him in half with a Spear, but he also threw him into the waiting arms of Otis, who then tossed him over his head and onto the announce table. It was a moment built solely for comedy, and it worked.

Props to the YouTuber for taking a couple of brutal spots.

Everyone Wants a Piece of Jacob Fatu

For the past few weeks, it has felt like Jacob Fatu has been making new enemies left and right. Not only does everyone in the OG Bloodline want to take him down, but stars like Braun Strowman and Damian Priest have also felt his wrath.

During the Rumble, Breakker and Fatu had a brief moment that the crowd reacted to, and if WWE is smart, it will find a way to put them in the ring together. Both men are from wrestling families and have unique attributes as performers. It would be an epic clash.

However, the big contest teased was Fatu vs. Roman Reigns. They had a moment all to themselves while everyone else was either eliminated or down in the ring. The announcers called it a future WrestleMania main event, and they may just be right.

Dominik Mysterio Cracked the Code

For a long time, WWE wanted Dominik Mysterio to be something he wasn’t, and that led to nobody taking him seriously.

In recent months, he has really embraced his comedic side, which has won him over many people. His entire role in Saturday’s bout was designed to generate laughs, and most of it worked.

There’s a Lot of Life Left in Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins Feud

Reigns had several notable rivals in this match, but the moment he had with Seth Rollins felt like the most significant.

The two men have been linked for their entire WWE careers, and it’s just a matter of time before they are back in the ring together for a singles match.

Both men were eliminated by CM Punk, but Rollins wasn’t done. He hit a Stomp on the steps that rook Reigns out before he and The Best in the World became embroiled in a brief brawl.

Joe Hendry is Future WWE Star

Joe Hendry made his first appearance in a Royal Rumble while carrying the TNA World Championship with him, and it feels like he will have the same path as Jordynne Grace.

WWE would be stupid not to sign the 36-year-old Scot once his TNA deal is up.

Hendry got a great reaction and was well-received during his run in NXT last year. He is riding high as the TNA champion, but his time in WWE will come.
